I actually think that a lot of us agree that a full LRT connection to the airport is actually a waste of resources. A more minimal, fully automated, people mover though running from an LRT station on the west side of Deerfoot to the terminal would be a better choice, plus it would belong soley to the airport authority meaning they would be paying for it and operating it, which removes any issues of funding it and running it.

As for who's fault it is for the terminals location, its mostly the feds but the city in a way initiated it since they decided to sell it to the federal government as they couldn't raise the funds to build the new terminal themselves in the mid 60's. So the federal government built it up in the NE corner, and tore down the old one in the SW corner of the property
